A method for automatically provisioning a platform implementation package to a client device may include receiving from an application executing on the client device, a request for functionality. The request may be received via a client library distributed with the application, and may be for functionality provided by the platform implementation package. The platform implementation package may provide functionality that is not provided by the client library. It may be further automatically determined, by the client device, that the functionality requires an update to the platform implementation package. In response, a request for the update to the platform implementation package may be communicated to a computing system. The update to the platform implementation package may be received from the computing system and installed on the client device. The requested functionality may be provided to the application by the updated platform implementation package.

Automatic provisioning of a software platform to a device ecosystem

Methods, systems, and computer-program products for displaying a message header on a client device are provided. An exemplary method for displaying a message header on a client device includes receiving a message on an electronic device and identifying a message header associated with the message. The exemplary method also includes, on a display of the electronic device, displaying a snapped header at a given location and at, least a portion of the message header when any portion of the message is also shown on the display. The exemplary method further includes changing a position of the message on the display while maintaining the display of the snapped header at the given location.
